[Greenicicle · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had been somewhat of an expert for ASP.NET web forms some years ago, but then moved into a phase of doing Silverlight, and MVC-based web frameworks; so I cheerfully forgot most of it. All I wanted from the exam preparation was to get my short-time memory filled up sufficiently to pass the exam, and then finally call it my last encounter with web forms.

The book serves that purpose well enough, but could be denser, making clearer distinctions between the basics and things that have been added in the .NET 4 release. I completely skipped the exercises, but they looked reasonable, and should lead to a more thorough hands-on understanding.

What I really liked where commentary boxes about what's important in real projects, including some insight about how useful some feature really is compared to which weight there is on it in the exam.

The sample exams were helpful; I spent the last four hours of preparation going through them and looking up facts for answers I did not know in the book. The sample exams were also somewhat more difficult than the real one, and I passed with a 790 score, with a preparation time of 12 hours max, and no braindumps involved.

A bit of a slog to get through, but I got there in the end. Like the exam, this book crams a lot of topics in and doesn't do many of them in depth. I passed though, so the book must be doing something right.

As far as test prep books go, this one is extremely thorough and quite a bit less dry than the average. Oh, and I passed the test, so that says something.

This is a great introduction to web development in .NET. It includes everything you need to know. I can't say how good it is for the Cert 70-515 because I haven't taken it yet.

Bra för att vara en certifieringsbok. För att öka chanserna att klara provet köp övningstest.

It's as good as can be for what it covers.
